                     WELCOMING RABBI MICHAEL SIEGEL

  (Mr. QUIGLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. QUIGLEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize my friend Rabbi Michael 
Siegel of Chicago, Illinois, for his service today as guest chaplain of 
the House of Representatives.
  As the rabbi of the congregation closest to Wrigley Field, for 30 
years, Rabbi Siegel's prayers for the Cubs have gone unanswered; 
however, Michael, again, assures me this is the year.
  More seriously, throughout his 40-year career, Rabbi Siegel has been 
a dedicated leader in the Jewish community, serving both locally and 
nationally.
  Since 1873, Anshe Emet has been a center for Jewish study, cultural 
activity, and Israel advocacy. Under Rabbi Siegel's leadership, the 
synagogue has grown and truly fulfilled its commitment to the entire 
community of Israel--klal yisrael--and healing the word--tikkun olam. I 
am grateful for my punctuation and pronunciation keys. I am also 
grateful that my constituents can be part of such an inspiring 
community--kehila.
  Please join me in thanking Rabbi Siegel for leading us in prayer 
today as guest chaplain of the House of Representatives.
